A POINT RAISED.

At the trial Of two Cinnamon for
having opium unlawfully in possession,
in the Police Court yesterday, Mr. ].
T. Dare, of counsel for the defend
ants, raised a very important point
Hon. ]. L. Kaulukou, Marshal Of the
Kingdom, in addressing the Court for
the prosecution, asked for conviction
in case Of the usual reasonable doubt"
OF the guilt Of one or both being absent
from Judge Dayton's mind. Mr. Dare,
however, stated that while he might in
other circumstances try to invoke the
tear of sympathy for his clients, yet
taking the case as il stood he moved
for discharge Of the defendants, sim
ply because the Crown had failed to
prove their guilt, or to make out a
b,lma Iaeie case under the existing
statute. While the prohibitory law was
in force the bare possession Of opium
was evidence of guilt, and the ofense
was in every respect penal one. But
the assembled wisdom" Of the ma
ton had seen fit to pass law
which was permissive Of opium
being imported, and the Crown must
therefore show that the defendants had
come into possession Of opium lille
gally. Mr.. Dare also took constitu-
tional ground for his motion for dis
charge. The Constitution DEGREES
that every law must be upon one sub
jet and must agree with its title. This
was not a penal law according to its
title, that said it was to regulate the i'm
portation and sale OF opium; but the
Legislature had dovetailed provision
in it for the large penalty Of one thou
sand dollars with two years imprison
ment, to protect the man who put up ;
large sum for the license to import anC
sell opium. What counsel asked TO
was net as matter Of sympathy but al
one OF constitutional right. Judgmen
in the case is promised this morning

A PANIC IN TAMPA.
Wild Excitement Follows an Out.
 break of Yellow Fever.

KEY WEST, Fla, Oct S-Passengers by steamer from Tampa confirm the reports already received of the appearance and spread of yellow fever at that place. Details show that the situation is grave anl has not been exaggerated. Up to the steamers departure over thirty cases had broken out and four deaths had occurred. A physician cn route Tampa several days, says the widest excite ment prevails, and perfect panic has seized the inhabitants. The fever appears to have supp'antcl reaSen, no one seemingly knowing what treatment to adopt and everybody, even physicians seeking safety in flight.
 Long before the disease was officially pro- nounced yellow fever hurried exodus occur Every train leaving is loaded with human freight, white and black, while carriages, wag- ons, boats, and every other means of convey ance are brought into acquisition for trans porting passenger to adjoining towns, while many are camping out in the woods. Stores, hotels, and all other places of business are closed, the proprietors having fled from the city. The panic was so great that in many instances thousands of dollars worth of prop erty was left unprotected and special police had to be sworn in to prevent depredations
 A visit to several of those attacked with the disease showed it to be typical yellow jack of tho most yirulent character, the worst feature being that no efforts were made to prevent it's spread, either by isoating patients or fumigat- ing the premises Mattresses and bedding of every description, covered with black vomit, were exposed in the streets.
 Should the scourge continue at Tampa strict quarantine will bo established, which will nc cessitate . change in the transportation of the West India mail. Some point below Tampa, probably Punta Gorda, will be selected to con- meet with the steamers.

A Mailman at the Throttle,

A Des Moines paper says: On We'd nesday evening Engineer Botsworth of the Wabash south h-bound train gave the final touches to his engine and pulled out just as usual. At Harvey water tank he pulled past several lengths. The fireman mounted the tank and cal led to him to back, but he pulled furth- CT ahead. The fireman returned to the cab, and, seeing that the engineer wns dazed, backed the engine down himself. For several stations the engineer would run past tho platform, and he would smile vacantly when the fireman ob- jected. Thinking at last that the en- gineer was drunk, the fireman at Knox vile Junction grasped the lever and saved the train from going through the switch.
 The conductor remonstrated with the smiling engineer, who responded "All right" Tho train was now late, and the engineer put on all steam. Having passed Beacon, he gave yell and started to spring from tho cab window. The fireman caught him by the legs, and, while he balanced him on the window ledge, he managed with his foot to stop the train. The conductor then helped get him back to the bag gage car, where he was carefully guard cd to Ottumwa, and there turned over to the authorities. He was brought home, and did not recognize his wife.

lA RUSH AT HARVARD.
Tho Custom Revived Under the
 Effects of Freshmcn's Punches.

It is many years since the ssyarl' at Harvard has echoed to such tumult In spite of the exhortation against tho revival of the almost obsolete custom which appeared in the Crin- soa, the freshmen gave some twenty odd punches which were hberally patronized by the sophomores, and even by some few of the upper classmen.
 response to carefully prepared list of invita- tions sent out by a certain clique of ''9O'' men, who let it be understood that noncompliance would be attended with most undesirable social results, even if worse results did not follow. The various punches were soon dis posed of, and then the members of the two lower classes repaired to the yard, where they comparatively harmless amusement of cheer ing. This grew too tame, and, urged on by some few juniors and seniors, they formed for an old-time rush.
 Rushing has been forStten custom at liar varl for many a year. the only recent attempt at its revival having been that ill the fall of 1885. Tho noise of the fray brought out all the remaining upper classes, so that in a few minutes about a thousand men were surging contending classes. The sport was all good natured, but both classes were thoroughly in earnest, and the struggle for the possession of tho hard walks was tough one.

MUTTNY AT SEA.
The First Mate Attempts to Throw
 the Captain Overheard.

The British bark Mary P. Kitchen, Ryan master, has put into Mobile Ala., with First Mate James P. Baker confined in the cabin for mutiny and trying to throw Capt. Ryan overheard at sea. The captain states that on Aug. 30, while tho vessel off the south coast of Cuba, at the midnight change of watches the mate came from below with his watch and ordered tho captains watch below. The vessel being on a lee shore the captain ordered the mate to have the sails brace up The mate replied that captain had better do it himself. When the captain laid his hand on the shoulder of the mate to remonstrate tho mato stopped, grabbed the captain round tho waist, and threw him over tho side of the vcs- sel, at the same time calling to his men for assistance, as if the captain were the assail- ant. Just then the steward of the ship ran 1sp, and as the captain had erasped q pin on the rail the steward was able to push tho mate aside and help the captain aboard ship, thus saving the captains life Next morning tho mate was placed in confinement. The mates admissions as we'll as what the steward knew of the affair indicate that the mate had the men of his watch with him in the conspiracy. The men had q set of irons to put on the captain. There had been no previous trouble with Baker, but some of his associates said he had confessed to having been of a party which had taken a captured cutter into Monteyiico, whence Baker had to flee as the affair became too hot for him. When the seamcn learned for the first time that they were s,ls- pected of complicity in the mates action, nine of them deserted the ship.

A RELIC OF THE WAR,
Which Arose from Our Occupancy
 of Mir. Sanborn's Land.

BANGOR, Me-, Oct. 5.-DurinS the war the Government constructed temporary batteries at various points on the Maine coast which, on the cessation of hostilities, were dismantled. One of these was located at Machlasport part ly on land owned by James Lyon Sanborn. In June, 1866, Capt. Henry Inman, U. s. A., gave MT. Sanborn certificate authorizing him to use and occupy the land owned by the United States until required by the Government, pro- vided he took proper care of it. Some time later First Lieut.. H. J. Hayden, of the Sd Maine Artillery gave MT. Sanborn a certificate which, in consideration of his releasing the United States from all claims for the use of his land, surrendered to him the buildings erected by the Government on both it's own and Mir. Sanborn's land, with the exception of one structure, which went to another party.
 MT. Sanborn occupied the buildings and the land until this spring, when he was noti- fled by ono Samuel Tobey that he was going to tear down the buildings. Tobey produced no authority for so doing, and Mir. Sanborn wrote to the War Department at Washington, sending copies of the certificates of Capt. John Inman and Lieut.. Hayden, and stating Tobey's purpose and asking for his authority. Before an answer was received, on June of this year, James Peterson and Franklin Sanborn, acting under Tobey's instructions, went to one of the buildings where Mir. Sanborn was and ordered him to leave, as they were going to tear it down. MT. Sanhorn refused. They forcibly entered, and on his resisting them, they threw him to the floor and elected him from the premises with much violence. MT. Sanborn, who was an old man, died about three weeks afterward. and it is alleged that his death was largely due to injuries then sus- tained.
 Meanwhile the buildings were removed by Tobey Afterward letter was received from the Secretary of War saying that Capt Inman was not authorized to grant Sanborn the use of the Cove rnment land and that Samuel To- bey had on Feb. 14 of this year been appointed a custodian of the military reservation at Machiasport. The letter did not question Lieut.. Hayden's certificate, but held that MT. Sanborns claim was not substantiated. The sons of James l., Sanborn have taken tho mat ter up and strong effort will be made to show that, by virtue of Lieut.. Hayden's certificate, Tobey had no right to destroy the building at least without suitable notice He will also bo proceeded against on account of the alleged fatal violence of June 5.

ELECTRICITY ON THE JUMP.
and Receiving Messag gcs on
 a Fast Running Train.

A large party of prominent electricians took train from the Pennsylvania Railroad depot in Jersey City to witness an exhibition given by the Consolidated Railway Telegraph Com pany of its new system of communication be- tween moving trains.
 Special cars with metal roofs were used in the experiments. An operator sat in one of the cars on the train with small keyboard in his lap. A telephone was fastened to his ear and small battery WAS conveniently near. Attached to the keyboard and telephone were coils of wire, one leading to the roof of the car and the other to tho wheels and thence to tho ground, forming ground wire. The roof wires pass to a brass clamp where they are se- curely fastened.
 Along the line of the road telegraph poles ha;. been erected, and, by a seemingly impos- sible jump of fifteen f,e tho electricity was transmitted from tho roof of the car 10 the wires on these poles. The exhibition was a success in every respect. Some fifty or sixty messages were received and sent while the train moved at the rate of fifty miles an hour, among them dispatch from Dr. Charles F. Crowell to MT. Thomas A. Edison, who was on the train, congratulating him on the success of the invention At ten minutes after three a despatch containing the closing quotations of the New York Stock Excha nge for all active stocks was received.

The Pretty Girl Routed Them.

A New York letter to an exchange ing I was attracted by the beauty of a young girl who was going somewhere or other alone. Opposite her sat @ fat man and thin man, and by her side sat medium sized man. The fat man looked over his paper at the curve of her shoulders. The thin man looked over his at the creamy roundness of her chin. The medium man glanced side ways at her shell-pink ear, and from there to her dainty hand, and she gazed abstractedly at memory. The three men would each pretend to read para graph and then proceed to take another look. The girl became conscious of the arrangement after while and began to get nervous. Men way down at the ends of the car were beginning to stand on their toes to examine her loveliness. The girl looked as if she wanted to shrink away. She reminded me of a hunted fawn with lot of dogs ranged round her ready to fasten their teeth in her. At Chatham square the guard called:
 "0hange for Fulton, Wall and South ferries <"
 The girl arose and moved for the door. The fat man, the thin man, the medium man and several other men started also. When the train stopped the girl turned back and re-entered the train And there stood the men who had followed her out on the station plat form. They had been routed. The game had doubled on them. tell you, pretty girl needs to have face of iron to go on an elevated train between and 10 in the morning.
